inside track

the senator from WallStreet counts her friends
and tallies votes each one can keep in line
each buddy weighed as means and not as ends
propelling her across the finish line
each union boss or mayor's worth his weight
in gold if he can bring minions on board
fat donor lists can always buy a date
with notable exception for Rob Ford
the common man's left standing at the door
while deals are cut above his unheard head
by those whose checkbooks pump the campaign more
and bundlers who turn out the voting dead
real change can't come from Wasserman's machine
vote Sanders if you want Washington clean!
